toxicturky Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 used the search, look familiar to any current products?CRCwith a teeny bit of modification i could imagine you'd end up with a rolhofesk tensioner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 it's £40! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicturky Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 but it's not £100 which can only be a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 It will just be a copy of the rohloff but this one alows you to alter the torque of the spring, i should think it preforms the same as a rohloff aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 but it's not £100 which can only be a good thingAnyone spending £100 on a tensioner is an idiot... especially when something as fantastic as a rohloff is available for only £59.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil H Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Anyone spending £100 on a tensioner is an idiot... especially when something as fantastic as a rohloff is available for only £59.99Anyone spending 59.99 is an idiot, so many cheap and easy ways to modify tensioners and derailieurs to fullfill all your needs.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Anyone spending 59.99 is an idiot, so many cheap and easy ways to modify tensioners and derailieurs to fullfill all your needs.PhilBut some people like to just buy something that works rather than bodge cheaper gear.Myself, well i built my own tensioner... its the best tensioner i've ever used and can be sidehopped to without any problem.
